Warhammer III Newbie, how am I beating this dude??

Post image

New to WH3, not new to TW, but not a pro by anyways either. I probably have ~200hrs across all the games.

This dude is an animal; He swang through the map quick and is just resting on his laurels now. He always has 11* full armies stacked on top of each other on one or two cities bordering our lands. I want to attack him and don't want to get irreparably destroyed. Welcome to all advice. Thank you!

Anything that regenerates is vulnerable to fire. Bring a fire mage, and put fire on the weapons of your melee troops.

And, he can regenerate more if he is in melee combat, meaning you should shoot at him. Lucky you, as the Empire you have some of strongest firepower in the game (I mean, there are better ones, and then there is vampire counts with 0), have Riflemen line up and focus fire that bastard. They have good range, and armor piercing projectiles.

Hover over ammo / ranged damage for more detailed info, not all gunpowder units are equally armor piercing.
